Chapter 183: A Thousand Men Capture the City (I)
Yang Li remembered the scene when the city was broken, the enemy army ruthlessly slaughtered the soldiers and civilians in the city, and even the baby was not spared.
As an old minister of the military department, an important minister of the empire, and a soldier who should have guarded the safety of one party, he saw how helpless and sad he was when he saw this scene. He rushed to Yao Wuyi with a decisive mentality, but was knocked out from behind by Han Ping.
Han Ping asked him to hide him secretly in a remote people's house in the city, and he died a heroic death in the city.
When he woke up and learned that Han Ping had been brutally dismembered by the enemy, he cried bitterly, scolding this kid for being unkind, and leaving himself to face this cruel defeat.
He didn't want Han Ping's sacrifice to become worthless, so he gathered some scattered soldiers and hid carefully, seemingly preparing for something and expecting something, but there was no hope in his heart, just desperately surviving, like a walking corpse, until he saw the arrival of Chu Feiyan and others.
He's been hiding in the shadows for quite some time. At first, he thought it was those damned enemy forces who had a civil strife, but he quickly recognized Chu Feiyan, heard some clues from Ma Jing's mouth, and knew what plan they must be brewing.
The most important thing is that he found the lost faith in the sincere and brave eyes of the teenagers. As long as they are there, there is hope for the empire.
also had complicated feelings for Chu Feiyan, so he didn't choose to rescue him until the last moment.
"Silly boy, I just knocked him unconscious, and then let him survive with a serious injury, but he will really die. ”
"Oh. Liu Hu replied with a red face.
"But what's next?"
Yang Li smiled and said, "Do you really think that such a big official as the old man was bought?"
Liu Hu thought seriously for a moment, and then shook his head straightforwardly: "I don't know about this."
"Hahaha", Yang Li laughed, his depressed mood was much better, and he really should stay with young people.
"Tell me the details of what happened, and I will make my own decision."
Liu Hu scratched his head, and didn't know where to start for a while.
"You stupid tiger, I'll talk about it", the seriously injured Peng Liao had recovered his strength a little after a simple treatment.
I have to say that Peng Liao still has the potential to be a military advisor, and he narrates things simply and clearly, and adds his own extra judgment.
"In short, I think that now the old general should create a counterattack momentum for our Stygian Army, and drive us all the way to the south gate. ”
Yang Li listened, his cloudy eyes glowed with bright brilliance, he was really a hero, regardless of his youth.
"Okay, that's it!"
On the upper floor of the South Gate City, Gao Chuan became more and more nervous, and Gao Jing went for almost an hour without any news. And Li Qiu, who had been talking non-stop before, was surprisingly quiet at this time, and he looked like he wanted to speak several times.
Gao Chuan looked uncomfortable, slapped the table, and shouted: "Li Wansan, if you have something to say, just say it."
Only then did Li Qiu say hesitantly: "General Gao, I don't feel that the situation is good now, maybe all of us have fallen for it."
Gao Chuan was taken aback: "How do you say this?"
"General, do you think, is it too easy to break the South Gate this time? Moreover, none of the big names such as Brother Zi and Xuan Tiangang appeared, and the most bizarre thing is that after the fact, I learned that there were only 20,000 defenders in total, where did the rest of the people go?
Gao Chuan listened to his analysis, as if this was indeed the case, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and hurriedly asked, "What do you want to say?"
Li Qiu whispered: "I suspect that they want to close the door and beat the dogs, catch the turtles in the urn, and annihilate us in one fell swoop!"
Gao Chuan was shocked, Ma Jing and the others had been uneasy for a long time, Ma Jing's ability he knew very well, and if he didn't come back on time, he must have encountered a change, at this time, when he heard Li Qiu's words, his heart was shaken by seven or eight points, but he still said:
"General Yao is a famous general of a generation, and with 250,000 horses, it is impossible to be defeated. ”
Li Qiu sighed: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, it's in someone's territory now, and the marshal once said that General Yao is brave and brave, but sometimes he is a little impatient, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not suffer the enemy's loss."
Gao Chuan frowned, worried, and had no idea for a while.
"By the way, I see that Xie Yun's army outside the city is reorganizing the soldiers and horses, and it is estimated that it will be killed soon. ”
Gao Chuan hurriedly said: "What should I do then?"
"Maybe I guessed wrong, the reinforcements may be on the way here, or I'll go down and see the movement first." After taking a few steps, he turned back meaningfully and said, "But, general, you have to prepare for the worst."
Gao Chuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Go, go!
Li Qiu went down to the city tower and gave his brothers a look, and the teenagers in the new barracks were highly nervous, and at the same time moved slightly away from the city gate.
Li Qiu looked intently into the city, waiting for the brothers to appear, but no one came, so he couldn't help but be secretly anxious, and it was almost half an hour since the agreed time.
Everything on his side was similar to what Chu Feiyan had planned, and the Wu side outside the city estimated that he had already made preparations, and now he was waiting for Chu Feiyan and their defeated army pretending to be Yao Wuyi to arrive.
If they don't show up for a long time, Gao Chuan will probably find out that Xie Yun's army does not exist outside the city at all, and everything will be over.
Could there be an accident? Li Qiu looked anxiously, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. At this moment, their unusual behavior attracted the attention of a captain guarding the city, and his eyes were fixed on the clothes of several people, and he found that several of them were wearing the boots of the Stygian Water, and he slowly walked over from not far away.
"Brother, which tent did you belong to?"
Li Qiu secretly said badly, suddenly, he heard a faint vibration from the ground, and then hundreds of people fled in a panic.
Then to Li Qiu's surprise, he saw Yang Li with a large group of men and horses pretending to chase and kill in the rear, shouting that the sound of killing shook the sky.
Li Qiu caught a glimpse of Liu Hu who was carrying Ma Jing's corpse on his back, and finally let go of the big stone in his heart. So he opened his throat and shouted.
"Oh no, Vice Admiral Ma is killed!"
"Oh no, General Yao is defeated!"
"Oh no, Brother Zi is here!"
"Oh no, Yang Li is also leading the army to kill!"
"Oh no, there are too many people on the other side..."
His sharp tone was so penetrating that soon his panicked shouts were heard throughout the castle tower, and they immediately panicked.
At the same time, Li Qiu had the ordnance and grain and grass storehouse on fire, and suddenly there was a fire under the city, and there was a riot immediately under the city tower.
